Yes, provided your code can work out where in the document to find the
S1234: eg, if it's in a Bookmark location.

Alternatively, have some code to prompt the user for the number, then both
insert the value into the document and use it as a file name.

Assign a bookmark to the area of the document that will contain the number.
In your code, use something like

pFileName = "S" & ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(CodeNumber).Range & ".doc"

Makes no difference. What have you tried so far?

G'day "Ben" <[email protected]>,

Rather than randomized, what you need is a unique number. Nor I get
around this by using this routine:

Private Function MakeUniqueBookmark(ByVal BMStem As String) As String
Do
UniqueId = UniqueId + 1
MakeUniqueBookmark = BMStem & Format$(UniqueId)
Loop Until Not Source.Bookmarks.Exists(MakeUniqueBookmark)
End Function

Source in this case is an externally defined document and UniqueId an
external static.

You call this function and returns a unique name for you to create,
based upon the given stem.
